FRANCI'S WAR review. This memoir of a young Jewish dressmaker - a true story - takes you to the epicentre of the Nazi Holocaust and will show you how, when confronted with unimaginable horror and adversity, humanity and hope can survive.

It’s well-known that the Nazi Holocaust resulted in the deaths of millions of Jews and other minorities. Yet the scale of the atrocity can make it overwhelming and hard to understand, which is why first-hand accounts by ordinary people who were caught up in it like Franci’s War are so important and effective. Franci’s War is a unique memoir of a spirited individual who loses everything, faces singular evil and suffering and emerges to begin life anew.

THE royal family in Nepal was replaced with a democratic republic in 2008 after years of civil war - however, one particular tragedy which took place in 2001 catalysed the nation's decision to remove the monarchy, according to reports.
